questions so again assist at christine hasler.com and I will answer your questions on

coaches corner. So today I want to coach you a little bit on how to deal with people who you disagree with.

Agree to disagree. This is often what we attempt to do when someone has an entirely different opinion,

but it's not easy, especially when we feel incredibly

passionate about something. So what do we do when we're upset about another's opinion or viewpoint? That was a question

I was challenged to answer for a group of high school

young women last weekend. The girls were all very upset about the recent

presidential election in the states. At the beginning of our time together I gave them space to vent. There was a lot of how could this happen? How could people vote for him? It's wrong that people agree with his beliefs. There was a lot of anger, confusion, and sadness.

I shared with the girls that there is what happens and then there is how we respond to what happens.

We only have 100% control over the latter.

I asked them if they preferred to continue to be upset or if they were open into

moving into acceptance so they could transform their anger into action. It took a second, but they all said yes.

Peer pressure helps.

I pointed out that by judging the trump aside as evil and wrong,

they were engaging in the exact kind of energy

that they were upset by.

Light bulb moment.
